Kyiv enhances its air defense with Patriot missiles
Ukrainian Defense Minister Yevheniya Khmara stated that his country is working on finalizing contracts to supply around one thousand missiles for the American "Patriot" air defense systems, with the help of allies and funding from an EU loan. He also noted that the majority of these missiles are not expected to arrive for several years. During a meeting of the Defense Contact Group, he called for urgent assistance for Ukraine, as Russian attacks continue with missiles and drones, and highlighted a financial shortfall of $27 billion needed to cover defense supplies. Khmara confirmed that Ukrainian forces are not making significant strategic gains along the roughly 1,200-kilometer front line, accusing Moscow of intensifying attacks to compensate for its military setbacks.
